Following publication of the report, the MSNBC spokesperson denied there were talks between Carlson and the network.

In September 2016, Carlson, 50, settled a reported $20 million suit against Ailes, suggesting that her exit from Fox News came about because she refused his sexual advances.

Ailes stepped down from his role at Fox News in July 2016, having helmed the network since its inaugural year in 1996. The 76-year-old also advised Donald Trump in his presidential bid, assisting with debate prep for the Republican candidate.

If the talks prove to be real, Carlson would be the third former anchor from Fox to join an NBC network. Aside from Van Susteren, Megyn Kelly also signed on to NBC News to join a morning program, create her own Sunday news show and take part in NBC's major political coverage.
